Farmland and Water: China invests abroad

The International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) has published a new study on foreign investment in farmland and water: 

 "Farmland and Water: China invests abroad" is about China's investment ambitions in agriculture in developing countries. The authors found reports of 86 large-scale agriculture projects covering 9 million hectares of land. They were able to confirm the existence of 55 Chinese projects covering 4.9 million hectares of land.   

Over the next few months IISD will be publishing reports on foreign investment in agriculture in Laos, Cambodia and Indonesia.
